Abstracts due February 23, 2007
Paper submissions due February 28, 2007 (9 pages)

The ACM SIGKDD conference has established itself as the premier
international conference on knowledge discovery and data mining. To
continue with this tradition, the thirteenth ACM SIGKDD conference
(KDD-07) will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from
academia, industry, and government to share their research and
experience. The SIGKDD conference will feature keynote presentations,
oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, tutorials, and
panels, as well as the KDD Cup competition. This year all accepted
papers will give both oral and poster presentations, and will be the
same length in the proceedings (9 pages in ACM 2-column format).
KDD-07 will also award scholarships to selected students to help
defray the cost of participating in the conference. Details will
appear on the conference Web site as they become available.

KDD-07 will implement double-blind reviewing for research papers in
which the identities of authors will be withheld from Program
Committee members and reviewers. Therefore, authors' names and
affiliations must not appear in the paper, and each paper and its
bibliographic references must be written so as to preserve author
anonymity. Detailed submission instructions will be provided on the
conference submission website. All submissions will be handled
electronically.

Papers on all aspects of knowledge discovery and data mining are
solicited. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Data mining for community generation, social network analysis, and graph-structured data

Foundations of data mining

High performance and parallel/distributed data mining

Integration of data warehousing and data mining

Interactive and online data mining

KDD framework and process
